A Docuteam member responds to folks calling the Colorado Rapid Response Network Hotline who would like to share a testimony of a past ICE incident. A Docuteam member is trained to document past ICE incidents or other testimonies related to state agencies’ abuses or Police-ICE collaborations. Depending on the nature of the case, the Docuteam member may sometimes play different roles, such as helping the family get connected with community accompaniment or other legal resources available in their area. Docuteam members are not legal experts or social services agents; instead, they serve by documenting the testimony and are a connector between the family and the more significant support community. Docuteam members also have the opportunity to be part of a network that helps connect hotline testimonies to current campaigns and legislative efforts aiming to protect the rights of immigrant families in Colorado. Docuteam members meet monthly on a statewide call to stay connected and updated with ICE activity resistance efforts in Colorado.
Call our bilingual hotline, open 24/7, if you witness ICE activity or if you want to document an experience with ICE.
